Chapter 28: Far Away

Kaitlyn

I bought the medicines from the store out of the hospital and headed back. I entered Daniel’s ward. He sat up as he saw me. 

“Here are your medicines” I kept it near him. He nodded. He looked quiet and this was all something new because he was always ordering me around.

“Look, Kaitlyn,” he called me.

“Hm?” I asked him.

“I know I don’t deserve it but can we start over?”

“I…” I sighed. How can he even think that I can just start over like that and forget everything. I mean, it just makes no sense to me. How can he think it is so easy?

“I don’t think so” I completed. 

“Oh… okay” he took the medicine and ate it. I looked at the time, it was already 8. I thought of acting on my plan so I decided to go early. “Doctors say you will be discharged within 2 days if your body shows no abnormal signs, so take care”

He nodded and smiled. I nodded too. I started going out. 

“Wait”

I looked at him. “Huh?”

“Are you going back?”

“Yeah…”

“Kate…” he got up and I saw his eyes moistening. My heart started crying at seeing him like that. His voice was broken and I could repair it.

But how can I be so selfless to break myself for him when he has always broken me?

“Kate just…” his voice shattered as he looked at me. I looked into his eyes and he closed his. “take care” he completed.

I looked at him shocked. I don’t think that this is what he wanted to say, but if he says so, I can’t do anything. I am not sure what I should do. But I do know that to actually reform him, I do have a good solution.

“I will”

I went out and left the hospital.

I was in the car with Eric. he was taking me to some place, only he knew. I don’t know where, but I do know it is gonna be fun.

“So, my dear girlfriend” I heard him. “which is the best color?”

“Blue?”

“Sure,” he smiled.

Well, he has been asking me about my favorites. He says that whatever I like is best. So, his question is always, which is the best this and that. I don’t know how to bear such cuteness!

“You know you are cute, right?” I told him as I looked towards the driver’s seat. I was on the passenger’s seat.

“Yup, at least after you have told me that hundreds of times”

“haha” I smiled and he continued driving. I know this all seems nice but I am not so sure about us due to my career. I don’t wanna get distracted and I have to ask him if he is completely supporting me or not.

We reached a grand place. It was really decorated well from the outside. “Come out”

I came out. “This place is especially for us, after all, you don’t like the crowds”

I smiled and blushed. How does he know that?

I went inside and I was damn shocked. The room had everything. games, food and a big bed. “Treat” he smiled.

This is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Kaitlyn

I reached home and went inside. I have to be strong enough to do this well.

I packed up my stuff in my luggage and kept it inside a cupboard. I packed some of the important things while some of my things were out in the room so it looked normal.

I made sure that my charger and everything I needed was inside.

I had to leave now.

I know I am not gonna go until he comes home because I won’t leave him in his troubles but I have to leave sooner or later, and I know that he won’t let me go.

But no one can stop me if I wanna go.

I know it is hard for me too, because, I… I do like him. I mean, of course anyone would say that then you like him for his fame and his face but no… I like him for who he is behind that cruel man. but I don’t know and I don’t wanna forgive him easily otherwise he would think that my forgiveness is easy to come.

I don’t wanna lose him but I don’t wanna feel worthless either.

If he wants me, he has to first yearn me and then earn me.

I am ready to be his, but only if he realises his mistake and somehow makes me believe that this all isn’t a lie again. or else, how will I know if it is all a game? What if he is doing this to play with my feelings again?

That’s why I will have to make sure of everything. I know what he wants right now, or what he is showing me he wants, and I will think about it.

This all will happen with time, but in this time, we have to live apart.
